The show is set in a world where loads of people have super powers or ‘quirks’ like growing big or super strength. You’ve got good guys with quirks who are superheroes and bad guys who become super villains.

Izuku, the lead character, doesn’t have a quirk but after a chance encounter with one of the greatest heroes, All Might, his life changes forever. Featured in the trailer, we see Izuku scrapping against a bad guy and really sums up the style of the franchise and the upcoming game.

That being Western superhero tropes mixed up with the hyperkinetic fighting styles of Dragon Ball Z or Naruto. Or, if you’re looking for another way to sell it, imagine the X-Men using the fighting style you’d find in a fantasy kung-fu movie.
